Wait, I thought rock was dead? |
Will hard rock ever make a comeback? It has the nicest and most loyal fans. But who needs it when we have hip hop and rap tearing it up and selling more?

All Long Live Rock seems to be trying to do, and by the looks of it is accomplishing, is "celebrate the chaos." Pop rock is supposed to be a stupid spectacle.
I mean, look, what is rock 'n roll but show business' appropriated mechanism to sell kids a pre-packaged "youth culture," promote drugs and sex, and generally vent in a way that doesn't change the status quo?
Folk rock has caused more social change. Punk rock has vented more aggression. Death metal has scared more parents. But what has sold more records? Rock 'n roll. The Circling Rocks once had a hit song that summed it all up, "It's only rock 'n roll, but I like it." We love it, but it is stupid. Here's proof, the deleted scene of the remake of Bedazzled:
(BFF) Brendan Fraser sings "Take The Hit" in his rock 'n roll fantasy wish after
selling his soul to The Devil in female form (Liz Hurley) from Bedazzled.
